Kawasaki W650 Street Tracker Custom by Hombrese Bikes

The Kawasaki W650 is one of our favorite platforms for custom builds. Kawasaki introduced the retro-styled standard in 1999 to resemble the British twins of the 1960s. The 50-horsepower parallel twins featured kickstarters and a bevel-gear, shaft-driven overhead camshaft, complete with Ducati Desmo-style cover, which makes the bikes instantly recognizable from the right side. Too bad they were only available in North America for a couple of years, and were replaced by the fuel-injected W800 in 2010.Enter Uwe Kostrewa of Germany’s Hombrese Bikes, who has built one of the most incredible W650 we have ever seen. Uwe got his start on two wheels with a Honda Monkey, of which he says:“She made a little kid’s blood boil and triggered a passion that continued through to this day.”After that came mopeds, enduros, supermotos, and finally a Yamaha SR500 that was pushed into his shop. As Uwe began transforming the bike into a cafe racer, Hombrese Bikes was born. Uwe calls himself a “semi-builder” because he has a “normal job” and customizes bikes mainly in his spare time.
